Dublin Book Festival - True Crime : Criminal Minds

On Thursday March 3rd, Abigail Rieley will be taking part in a panel talking true crime. Along with Emer Connolly and Barry Cummins, she'll be talking to host John Mooney about her work and stories in the Gutter Bookshop in Templebar.

After a couple of years covering the courts her first book The Devil in the Red Dress was published. There couldn’t be a better story for a first book – the housewife who shopped for a hitman over the Internet but ended up with a Las Vegas poker dealer instead. Then last year her second book Death on the Hill looked at the trial of Eamonn Lillis, convicted last January of killing his wife, model turned producer Celine Cawley.

It should be an intriguing night for anyone interested in the genre of Crime.

John Mooney talking to Abigail Reiley, Emer Connolly and Barry Cummins on Thursday, March 3rd at the Gutter Bookshop - Time 6.30 - Admission Free - No Booking necessary.

The Game Changer

Irish Independent Review of LAST KISS

Click Image to View "Last Kiss is superior and takes her writing to another, more intense level - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."

San Francisco Book Review - LAST KISS

Click Image to View "Phillips is certainly equal to James Patterson, Sara Paretsky, and Patricia Cornwell. LAST KISS has echoes of Basic Instincts, however Phillips takes it to much more interesting places."

Sunday Independent - Queens of the Irish Crime Scene

"Phillips is superb at suspense and at conjuring up a dark menacing atmosphere."

BBC Radio Ulster - LAST KISS

“Once you start reading, you have to keep going. Phillips deserves to be known well beyond these shores. This is not just an Irish Crime thriller-it’s among the best crime writing in the world- top notch thriller."

IRISH TIMES - LAST KISS

"The blend of first and third-person narratives gives the story great pace...Phillips is exploring the dark matter of damaged sexual identity…. the abiding impression is of the empathy Phillips evokes on behalf of her lethal but fragile anti-heroine."

EURO CRIME - LAST KISS

“This book is superb! A chilling and original storyline about nature versus nurture, it has you hooked right from the very first page - It has an ending that you just can't see coming!" Highly Recommended”

Praise for The Doll's House

‘A real page turner - Phillips’ book is laced with tension and gradually builds to a thrilling finale. What’s particularly great about the novel is the author’s fearlessness in delving into the darker recesses of the Irish capital.’
